Guide Review - "DVD Confidential" Book Review

Author Marc Saltzman has put together a comprehensive list of hidden treasures (AKA Easter Eggs) from some of the most popular DVDs released in recent years. Not listed on DVD jackets, these 'Easter Eggs' can be found on almost every DVD and are often the best, and in many cases most hilarious, outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage contained on the DVD.

"DVD Confidential" provides step by step instructions on how to access these hidden jewels. This reference manual is so easy to use that even a novice DVD owner will be able to find hidden/alternate versions of scenes. Along with providing the pathways to these 'Easter Eggs,' Saltzman also includes a brief synopsis of each of the films and entertaining 'Did You Know' facts.
